“Kathy was an amazing dog sitter! Chloe has anxiety and doesn't do well in a crate, but Kathy took extra time and care to make sure she felt comfortable and adjusted during her stay. She sent daily videos and updates, which gave me peace of mind, and was always quick to respond to messages. It was so nice seeing Chloe having fun and playing with the other dogs in the backyard! I really appreciate the care and attention Kathy gave Chloe and would absolutely trust her to watch Chloe again. Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and needs. I provide a clean, safe, and loving home environment where dogs can relax, play, receive plenty of attention, and be treated like part of the family. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, daily routines, administering basic care, and making sure each dog gets the individual attention they deserve. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, especially when you’re away. My goal is to give pet parents peace of mind while making sure their dogs are happy, comfortable, and well cared for throughout their stay. I also love keeping owners updated with photos and messages so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m home most of the day, so caring for dogs fits naturally into my daily routine. I have plenty of time to play with them, let them outside, and give them attention throughout the day. I’m also pretty flexible with drop-off and pick-up times and always try to make things easy for pet parents. I want every dog that stays with me to feel comfortable and at home. I have a fenced yard where they can safely go outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I always keep an eye on the dogs and make sure everyone gets along. I also follow each owner’s instructions because I know every dog has their own routine and personality.
“Lashika took such good care of our Luna. She was very communacative with pictures and activity updates. Luna seemed to really like her so I will definitely be a repeat customer. Thanks Lashika for loving Luna as much as we do!”
“Daisy was phenomenal with our Kira, gave us daily updates, photos, and videos. She was also so flexible and helpful when our return date got delayed. I could not recommend her enough, she is our go to girl for every trip now!”
“KC was an amazing sitter for our dog, Lana! She carefully followed all of our instructions and kept us updated with frequent pictures and videos, which we truly appreciated. Every time we reached out, she responded promptly and made us feel completely at ease, knowing Lana was in great hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Lana with her again in the future. Highly recommend them.”
“Nikki took very good care of my Yorkshire Suzy. It was 15 days on the road and Nikki sent me daily photos and videos of my dog. Nikki has an excellent fenced backyard for the dogs. If I need someone to take care of Suzy again, I'll be happy if Nikki receives her again.”
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Lexington is $38

Chloe was absolutely wonderful with my black lab Brewer! She took such great care of him while I was away for a couple of nights, and I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She was super communicative, sent me pictures and updates. She has a very kind and genuine personality, and Brewer looked so happy and comfortable with her. I would absolutely recommend Chloe and will definitely book with her again! 🐾💕
We had a great experience with this couple taking care of our Aussiedoodle for several nights! We appreciated their flexibility and they gave him lots of attention, playtime, walks and one on one care to meet his energetic needs. We loved the frequent photo and video updates, and you could tell they genuinely cared about him. Highly recommend!
Jillian took such great care of Cosmo! I was so nervous leaving him for the first time since moving here but she put all my worries at ease!! She sent lots of photos/updates and seemed like genuinely cared about Cosmo. He loved it with her so much I think he didn’t want to leave!
Patricia is an excellent care taker! Buster was so happy being with her. She gave lots of great updates and little videos. The pictures she sent showed us that he was as comfortable at her house as he is at home. Buster is a little more needy with his care because he is a senior dog now. Patricia had no problem feeding him by hand to help him. I highly recommend using Patricia for your boarding needs.

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Lexington is $33 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $50 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
96% of sitters in Lexington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lexington.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lexington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
